CRAPE MYRTUES. 
The Crape Myrtle lias reached such a hifi-li degree of |K>pularity that 
there is hardly a flower garden without a few of these lovely flowering shrubs. 
They are lately being used for hedges, which produces the most striking 
effect, and such a hedge is admired by all who see it. The first flowers 
appear early in May, and from then until frost the plant is continuously a 
niass of flowers. Price of strong pl.ints, 2 to 3 feet, 25 cents each ; 3 to4 feet, 
35 cents each.

fish habit, but produces more flowers in one season than any of the others. 
Crimson, grows to a good sized tree and is almost always in bloom. The 
flowers are of a very rich crimson color.

clusters.

but slow grower.

well here. Always looking thrifty and healthy, and requires no more water 
than our annual rainfall. Tree sheds yellow flowers in spring, and often. in 
fall, the reason why it is called the “Goldrain-tree. ” 25 cts.

These are easily transplanted and grow very rapidly; therefore, they 
should never be overlooked when ordering. You will always have a vacant 
place for a few. All the leaves should however be cut ofl' before planting, 
otherw'ise they often fail to grow.
